This is in response to your inquiry reciting that you were recently appointed
as a county judge and inquiring whether you will be able to continue to
serve as a member of the District II Human Rights Advisory Committee for
the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services. You include a copy
of Section 20.19(7), Florida Statutes, outlining the duties of this Committee.

The Committee is unanimously of the opinion that your continued service on
that committee would be in conflict with the provisions of Canon 5B(1). We affirm
the holding of our earlier Opinion No. 76-21
and that of Opinion No. 75-32 to the effect
that continued service on that committee would conflict with Canon 5G as well.

We appreciate your inquiry and trust the foregoing will be of assistance
to you.
